We publish on the first page this
week a very interesting editoria]
("Columbia's Opportunity") from the
Columbia Register, urging prompt
action upon the part of her citizens
in behalf of the Columbia, Newberry
and Lanrens Railroad, and pointing
out the danger of being cut off on the
south-east by a road from a point at
or near Forty one, on the South Caro
lina Railroad, to Camden and on to
Munroe, N. C., and on the west by
the proposed route looking from
Orangeburg to Lewiedale. through
the fork to Prosperity, and thence to
Laurens, Piedmont, Easley, and Pick.
ens to Knoxville, Tennessee, and on
the north by the proposed road from
Roanoke, Va., via. Charlotte, N. C.,
Yorkville, Union and Laurens, using
the Laurens, Greenwood and Au.
gusta Road from this point to Au
gusta, Ga. If the matter is delayed,
it states further, that Augusta is put
ting out another Narrow Gauge feeler
for Carolina trade, and that every
thing is looking to sapping the trade
that Columbia must depend on, and
closes by saying, that we. must take
the lead in this thing, and do it
quickly, before the opportunity is
gone.
We are glad to find Bro. Pope
aroused on this important matter,
and trust he may succeetd in getting
the people of Columbia, to act prompt
ly. It behooves us to bestir our
selves and choose at once the best
outlet that will give us a competing
line. We have agreed by resolution
to subscribe fifty thousand ($50,000)
dollars towards building the Narrow
Gauge from Augusta, Ga., via. Edge
field C. H., to Newberrv C. 11,, with
forty thousand dollars of this amount
to be raised by taxation in No. 1
Township and ten thousand dollars
in No. A. 8 It might le well for us to
decide before voting this subscrip
oand where this monetd$

would be dumped over into Georgia;
and then, too, should the new road
be built across the country via. Clin

gain what we most need, a powerful

at home and in our own State. and

interests along the route would go to
work at once and complete the road
to the North Carolina line, in place
of feeding another State, we would

thereby bringing business into our
State, instead of carrying it out. We
should rememnber how the building of
the Air Line took our trade away
* from us. The Green,wood,Laurens and

and if another road is run across the

lose no time in laying hold of the
best inducements offered, and go tc
work and build the road. If, afte:
* careful consideration it is determined
to build the Narrow Gauge, let it
be understood that the subscription
vote shall be expended in Newberry
County. If it is decided that the
Columbia, Newberry and Laurens is
the ,best investment for Newberry,
let the people of every Township join
the people of Newberry and Pros

and build the road to Coiumbia, if

Gar Te'ruer- and the Tarirf
Undoubtedly one of the newest
burdens and most serious grievances
our farming interests have to labor
undJer is ur p.resent exorbitant tar
iT. Th1e Committee of ways and -
means of Uhe House of Representa
tives in it: recent report recommend
ing some redactions in the tarif1,
wita important additions to the free
list informs us that the present aver
age rate of duty on mportations is -7
per cent. ad vaore. That is to say.
the farmer while havi:: no protection
on what lie produ-es ::d has to sell,
has to pay on an avere 47 cents on
the dollar on nearly every thing he
has to buy, more thau ie would have
to pay without the tariff. But even
this enormous rate of 6uty. higher
perhaps than that of any otier coun.
try, is not a full measure of the injus
tice to our farming interests from our
present tariff; for while .17 p:r cent.
is the average duty, many aticles of
prime necessity to the for:ier have
still higher duties. Let us look a
little into particulars. Wi-en the
farmer buys cotton- or woolen goods
of any class or kind lie has to pay
from 65 to over 100 per cent. duty.
His clothing costs him from 40 to 60
per cent. His wife and chillrerns
dress goods 64 per cent. L
goods 50 per cent; furniture 50 per
cent. glass for his windows 6$ per
cent. flannels and blankets protect
himzIf and wife and children against
wint.r's cold cost him 65 per cent. ad
ditic al:and soon through the lon(g list
of ali,-ost every thing lie has to buy.
Every-thing is loaded down with this
enormous tax. -Neither his food nor
his wearing apparel, nor the imple
ments with which he cultivates his
crops or sends his produce to market
is free from it. There is no escape
from it. And what makes it still
worse is that it is imposed in a way i
that we do not perceive it, except by
the void in our nurses. It is a silent
theft, so to speak, on almost every
thing the people have to buy. Let
any farmer keep a careful account of
all he has to buy during the year, an<L
at the end go over it with a taritrta-bie
in hand and he may calculate ap
proximately at least, the sileiIt tax lie
has had to pay by reason f a pro
tective taritL. The effect of a .ro
tective tar;: is to make the rich.
richer at the expense of the great
majority of the people, and to build
up powerul and dangerous monop
olies by a huvy tax on the consum
ers. It has been estimated that
about. four-.iftlis of our people are
eiter poor or of moderate means
'and that these are heavily taxed
through the tariff for the other one
fifth who pr-olit by it. 1 very much
doubt if every one fifth of our pop1
ulation profit byV protection. But
admitting the estimate of cry
ing injustice of the system is
manifest. Our farmers compilain,
and very justly, of our heavy State
taxation, and it is to be hoped that
measures may be inaugurated at the
convention in.Colum bia next week to
relieve them to some extent. But
this tax is, in reality. very much less
than the insidious tax imposed upon
our people through our protective
tariff. But tile one is imposed di
rectly, so it is felt by every one,
while the other is imposed so we do
not perceive it so sensibly. Our
State and county tax or just one per
cent. I believe, amounts to less than1
one dollar per head of our population,
while the tax imposed by the tariff
amounts to over $3 per head of the
entire population of the country; over
811L000,000 last year. This is only
the amount received by tne govern
ment. But it is very far from repre
senting the entire amount of the bur-1
den'imposed on the people by pm '
tection. While the government gtets
$8,000,000 revenue from the tariff,
the protected industries get a v-ery
much larger sum. A carefully pre
pared table before me shows that
these protected industries gained
c;eased cost of home products by
reason of the tariff. This would be
$11 per head of the entire popula
tion of the country according to the
last census. Of this amount the iron
and steel industries got over S120,
000,000, and the woolen industries
over S106,000,000. And who paid
it? To a very large extent our farm
ing interests, who in return get no
protection. Thus we see that while
our State tax amounts to less than
$1 per head, the tax imp)osed by our
tariff amounts to over $14 pe head
of the entire country. Would it not
beu well for our farmers, assembled in
conve.ntion in Columbia, to consider
certain State grievances, to giv e at
ittle aittention also to the still greater
National zrievance, and to express
themselv~es in such language as w~ould
rive a mnore deflnite policy to somie
of ouir wavering congressmenl? I
w 'ouldI not wish to distract attentionl
fromn tie important matters that Ca'pt
Tillman will no dloubt lay beWfre the
conventio)n. But I believe no ques
tion is more important to our farmn
ing intereste and no burden more op
pressive than our present tariff. I
therefore hopie the convention will
find timn- to pass a resolution strong
lv condeCmniflg it. mnd urging con
~ressmen to use their best elforts to
get it reduced as much as p)ossible
consistent with the requirements ofj
government revenue. B. 0. D.

Teaehin-- Reading.
During the day. at different time
and different places, we heard-well
perhaps one hundred children read
'Not on% poor reader among them all
In one case we heard ea0h child in
certain room read. So distincti:
were the words spoken that we los
not the sound of one. That the chil<
had a thorough understanding o
what he was reading was evident b,
his placing the emphasis upon jus
the word in the sentence which woul(
bring out the meaning plainest. Thi
inflection was varied and the voici
was pleasant throughout.
As the reading was the best wi
had ever heard from any children
we began to look about for the cause
One lesson which we heard gave u!
an insig-ht into the method of con
ducting a reading lesson in one, a
least, of these schools. The clas.
numbered twenty. Each child stooc
beside his desk, in the middle of th(
aisle, facing the teacher, when w<
entered the room. They had n(
books and were repeating from mem
orv some lines which she had giver
them. To berin with, the teachei
was a good reader. She recited th(
lines and then asked the class to re
eat after her Lhis much, "Ye bells ir
the steeple, ring, ring out you
changes, how many soever they be.'
The result was not satisfactory; they
were 2vidently imit3ting her, parrot,
like. Then a short talk ensued aboul
he church, and the steeple, and the
ells, until the idea was fully im
ressed.
"Now, children," said tlhe teacher,
'can you see the bel6s? Now talk
,o them." So ffly were the imagin
ations at wofk, that as they repeated
-Ye beis,- etc.! once more, the eyes
verd directed upward as though the
teeple and the bells were really visi
>le. The result was most happy,
rhe tone was different, the reading
ncre natural in every way. They
vere not only giving the words of
he author, but were actually talking,
ach to his own imaginary chime of
>Olls.
When this exercise was concluded,
he class was directed to sit down
nd take reading books. They were
o read a piece entitled "The Radi
te." Before a word was read, the
irst paragraph was discussed. Upon
he desk the teacher had placed some
~tarfish and other examples of radi
ate animals. The children were sent
o find these and exhibit them to the
lass, and they were talked of until
t was evider't the class had a clear
dea of the animal they were to read
bout. Then the hard words in the
~aragraph were explained, after
rhich the children were told to read
he paragraph to themselves and see
f they understood it.
Then one child read it, the teacher
aing, "Now, Mary, remember you
).re not reading it to yourself. but to
is; we have no book and you must
ake us understand it."' Each para
;raph was taken in the same way.
After hearing this le sson, we con
luded that if each teacher in the
:ity, beginning with the lowest grade
a the primary school, was as careful
hat her scholars thoroughly under
tood every sentence which they read
Ls this teacher had been, it was no
onder that the reading %
as decidedly tio1L

"The overcoming of isolation it
Lhe multitude of particulars, by
gashes of identity, is the progress o:
ur knowledge in one direction; it is
the satisfaction that we express whet

for a thing. Lightning was account

electric spark. Besides the exhila

two in their nature so different and.

tion of saying that they learned wha
ightning is. Thus by discoveries o
identity we are enabled to explair
the world, to assign the causes o
things, to dissipate in part the mys
teriousness that everywhere sur
rounds us."-B.uxN.
"Mental science enlarges tha

may grow. how many influences mnus
combine for its full exercise, and hos

rules gained by experience, are a ne

"Man is a living force, a fountai
